    Plenty of shops here, you could try Pacifica shipping for the bike or Kiwi car carriers just to see if the price is better.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Personally I'd stick with Biketranz - the shops here use them and their trucks appear to be very well set-up. I have not heard of any bad reports about them - I have heard of a few disappointed Trademe buyers when they unload their new pride and joy though .........

    You have two Honda dealers in CHCH if you stick to the brand shops, Casbolts in the city (Manchester Street) and the new flagship dealer at Hornby - Hampton Honda. You'll find comments (good and bad) on KB with a search for either name.

    Wow,$480 sounds pretty decent,strange though,about 8 months ago I got qouted $660 from Biketranz,WITHOUT Insurance from Aux to Chch.Rang oround a few others and decided on Captain Transporter,the cheapest of the lot at $550 INCLUDING Insurance, and was'nt dissappointed.Bike arrived about a week later in the same condition it left.Only thing,it's a depot to depot service,not door to door,they're based out by the Wigram Airbase.BTW,Welcome to Christchurch,burn your Blue & Whites before leaving...

    welcome gambit another norfy to brake in why don't you shift your gear down then fly back (grab a seat) then back down, coz once you cross the ditch you'll relise why you moved here ie better roads, better people, better rugby
